# Overview Cook is governed by COOK token holders. A platform governed by the community unlocks a realm of unlimited possibilities. With $COOK, community members can create a new Cook Improvement Proposal (CIP) and cast votes on existing proposals. Every CIP will go through the Cook Governance Process 1.0. The governance model with $COOK and CIPs allow the community to propose, vote and implement changes to the Cook protocol. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
